Walk Out on Rumsfeld at CPAC!?!

[Joshua Parrish]

I am sure most of you are as thrilled as I am about this years recipient of the "Defender of the Constitution" award!

Thats right, liberty icon, Donald Rumsfeld!

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/01/rumsfeld-receive-defender-constitution-award-cpac/

How great would it be to pack this award ceremony with real defenders of the constitution and then all quietly stand and walk out in unison as Rummy begins his acceptance speech?

I also envision several of our participants having duct tape over their mouths with the words "Patriot Act", "Torture", Rendition", "Article 1: Section 8", ect...

I know this is late notice but if anyone is interested or has any input please do not hesitate to contribute.

Objective #1: Vote for Ron Paul

Objective #2: Send a clear message to the old republican guard that we know who the real defenders of the Constitution are!

Thanks,
Joshua

You could just not attend the presentation. Leave before it starts. Rather than disrupting something and furthering the stereotype of the immature Ron Paul supporter.
Just saying....

 

[muzzled dogg]

but the neocons wouldnt like us to do that

 

[teacherone]

then again--it would make the leftist media's head-spin.

 

[RyanRSheets]

Keep in mind that we have to win the votes of the people in that room, and anyone watching, if we are to win the nomination.

I think it would make Ron look bad. Just leave the room empty to begin with. The media comments on who gets a crowd.

 

[Jeremy]

It's right after Rand Paul too.

 

[akforme]

I think this proves the GOP is going backwards.

To be honest, walking out mid ceremony/mid speech WOULD have the left screaming WTF. This a GOOD thing.

If moderate leftists who have a bite of fiscal coservatism see the right wingers shutting out neocon warmongers and "right wing sociopaths" in favor of rational, good hearted Americans (Like Ron Paul!)...it may swing some voters.

Well, running out really fast after Rand isn't the same as standing up and leaving in the middle. There is no reason our guys should have to sit through that.

More conservatives are against being actively rude, I think. But absolutely people should leave after Rand does, unless they like Romney.

And turn off even more republican primary voters.
Just leave before the presentation.

Yeah, we shouldn't boo but I think its a good idea to silently walk out as soon as his name is announced

 

[The Dark Knight]

Walking out is a great idea. We owe it to our constitution. I could care less what the Neo Cons think of us.

 

[VegasPatriot]

Get there early, sit in the front. Don't ware any RP gear and be polite. Silently stand up and walk out when Rumsfeld is announced.

It won't help our constitution to let people paint Ron's followers as rude, as a group. They are USING Rand to build his crowd. The room will be PACKED for Rand. Believe me, if 2/3 of the room walk out at the end of Rand's speech, it will be noteworthy. There is no need to be rude.

Walking out quietly is genius. It is respectful protest, no one can make claims of rp supporters being unruly, just good old fashioned civil disobedience. Keep in mind, when Rop Paul wins the straw poll he will most likely be booed again, so prove your more respectful

 

[brandon]

I say pelt him with snowballs

 

[Romulus]

Walk out quietly when his name is announced.

I love it when new guys make these suggestions.
